WHAT EMTRICITABINE/TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL KRKA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED
FOR
EMTRICITABINE/TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL KRKA CONTAINS TWO ACTIVE
SUBSTANCES, _emtricitabine _and
_tenofovir disoproxil_. Both of these active substances are
_antiretroviral _medicines which are used to
treat HIV infection. Emtricitabine is a _nucleoside reverse
transcriptase inhibitor _and tenofovir is a
_nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor. _However, both are
generally known as NRTIs and they
work by interfering with the normal working of an enzyme (reverse
transcriptase) that is essential for
the virus to reproduce itself.
